That's really only downside, some pre-Velious downsides cus they are hurting for some armor like hate/kunark plate legs/bp.. But it's all subjective. Really like unsaid fashion should be your guide with a shaman. The only thing that really affects play is the size, ogre and troll can be super annoying in some vanilla dungeons | |||

JBB is important if you wanna try to solo some high end stuff. Jbb is 263 dmg mana free every 8 secs. Best shm dot Bane of nife is 241 dmg every 6 secs for 425 mana. Jbb is not necessary, it just opens a lot of possibilities.
For info i play a barbarian. Never regreted it.

What we are saying is: there are plenty of 60 shamans hunting big targets who don't see the value in a JBB. Roll Iksar if you want. I like Barb for the Barb Spiritists Hammer, the ultimate 35-50 leveling weapon. | |||

More seriously, you can pick up any class and do fine with shamans once 60 with torpor, malo, BoN and Spirit of the howler, but I would recommend you to go troll worshipping innoruuk. This way, you can have the benefits of the regen (iksar and trolls both have the same regen numbers which is way higher than barbs and ogres). It does make a difference, even when you have torpor. Think of it as an extra fungi tunic. The 2nd benefit from being a troll is that you can wear plate armor. JBB isn't game breaking, but it sure is handy at times. When leveling with epic, if you can have enough mobs to root / dot to cycle, JBB is useless, but try to kill a single mob with epic dot only and then do it with JBB only. JBB wins hands down in terms of time needed. The 3rd benefit from worshipping innoruuk is that you will be able to have a clicky snare necklace. It sure isn't the best snare on earth and its duration is limited, but there are many situations where you will want a snare. The ogre frontal stun immunity is really given too much value by many players but just go to WW and see those non ogres shamans soloing dragons. That should give you good insight on how game breaking (or not) that frontal stun immunity is ... | |||

Also regarding the snare necklace, the fear undead one gets overlooked a lot. Yes it's way more situational, but you can put decide to put yourself in better situations. As an untwinked shammy leveling this thing singlehandedly got me from 40-53 averaging like 2-3 hours a level. Now with the warrens this quest is waaaay easy, you can probably get it by level 10, and its a much better leveling tool than the snare neck. Is it useful at 60? No not much outside of KC and HS, but neither is the snare necklace. Shaman already get tons of tools at 60 anyway, the big problem is just getting there and getting all those spells/clickies. Also some dungeons are outdoors and can't shrink without using an expensive pot | |||

I never understood the infatuation some people have with JBB. Once you get a full complement of spells there are better things that you can be doing with your time.

Having torpor/canni/BoN more efficient than spamming JBB doesn't make JBB utterly useless to me. When a mob is low life and can be killed with 2 JBB casts, I'm personally happy to use my JBB rather than Baning it to death or clicking my epic and waiting for epic dot to finish it off. Not game braking, but yet an argument which goes in favor of non iksars. Quote:

However possibilities it opens there is nothing alive in the game that you can kill with jbb that you can't kill without. The cost vs change to play is overrated. You're better suited bane/torp in those 8 sec then Cani the next. It's a vanity item.
Pras the barb shaman tho | ||
